Sunday was pretty windy and somewhat cold at the top. The wind was really whipping the snow around. I never made it up 9 but people I know braved the wind up there and said it was nice. I went over to 8 and found some really nice snow. It was somewhat wind crusted but quite fun. I told some friends about my stash and they ripped it up too. No one was there. It was icey in the morning and the snow loosened up about a quarter way up the hiill but remained firm on the rest of the hill. No slush bumps under 4. They were pretty firm. Depending upon the exposure, the snow could be ice or loose throughout the day. The parking lot was full in the morning but by 3 it was getting pretty empty. It was a fun day. I'll be back on Sunday for Closing Day.
